I built a wait time tracker for airport lounges because the bank that runs them won't publish one

Boston is my home airport and the wait at the Sapphire Lounge there is a total guess until you're at the desk. Chase runs a waitlist so they have the data, they just don't show it. So I built Loungetide.com. It covers all nine lounges. Each one has an hourly estimate that started from published reviews and now learns from past reports. When someone reports a real wait it shows that, and it fades back to the estimate as the report gets older. Reporting is two taps, one when you join the list

AI 分析

痛点:机场贵宾厅的排队等待时间完全不透明,用户到前台才知道要等多久;运营方(如 Chase)明明有 waitlist 数据却不公开

目标用户:高频出行的常旅客、信用卡贵宾厅权益持有人(Priority Pass、Chase Sapphire Lounge 用户)、商务出差人群

证据:Boston is my home airport and the wait at the Sapphire Lounge there is a total guess until you're at the desk. Chase runs a waitlist so they have the data, they just don't show it. / Biggest problem right now is the cold start, it is only as good as the number of people reporting. / if anyone has ideas for getting people to actually tap the second button I'm all ears.

变现:1) 与贵宾厅准入类产品(Priority Pass 替代、单次售卖 lounge pass 的平台)做 CPS/联盟分佣;2) 信用卡 affiliate 导流(“办这张卡可进 Sapphire Lounge”);3) 面向机场/贵宾厅运营方的 B 端数据看板订阅;4) 免费+广告,C 端订阅付费优先级很低

MVP:2 周可做:先用静态站(Cloudflare Pages)+ Supabase 存上报,覆盖 10 个热门机场贵宾厅;冷启动靠 Reddit/常旅客论坛/信用卡社群人工拉种子,加入“上报后抽奖/积分”机制提高第二次点击率;不做账号体系,用 localStorage 记住设备并配合 push 提醒用户在进入时回来点第二次

竞品:LoungeBuddy、Priority Pass App、Google Maps 热门时段、TripIt Pro

摘要:作者因波士顿 Chase Sapphire Lounge 排队时间不透明,独立开发了 Loungetide.com,覆盖 9 个贵宾厅,用公开评价做初始估算并结合用户实时上报(两步点击、免登录),部署在 Cloudflare + Supabase。当前最大问题是冷启动——数据质量完全依赖上报人数,且作者自己也在求“如何让人愿意点第二次”的解法。帖子中没有任何收费、收入或他人付费意愿的证据,变现路径需靠信用卡/贵宾厅准入类 affiliate 间接实现。
